    Update on bird feeders

    I am seeing ton's of Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Doves, House Finches, regular sparrows, Cardinals and a woodpecker or two. It took a while and I was impatient but it is going very good now.

    Fun watching, isn't it?

    Yes it is I can sit and do it for a long time I'm just not retired yet so I don't have the time I'd like to devote to it. But I don't have but a few more years probably before I'm ready to hang it up

    Other than the birds (no idea what kind, just birds) I see having breakfast in my front yard every morning, I never notice birds...But this afternoon I was getting into my truck when I saw a big bird in the side yard about to carry off a squirrel he killed...A guy passing by said it was a red-tailed hawk, which would explain all the red feathers on his tail...Anything that will kill a squirrel is welcome in my yard......Ben

    I remain very cognizant of birds around me because both my wife and I take them as fond inhabitants of our world. Their busy movements and chattering are most welcome in that world. I miss them when they are not around for the most part with a few exceptions such as the periodic invasions of doves, grackles and cowbirds at our feeders. Curiously, on a vacation in Ireland we both made note of the emptiness of the land of birds and how we missed that. Strange for Texans who are blessed with many varieties.

    You guys feed year round? I only fill the feeders in the dead of winter because i feel sorry for them. I dont shoot coyotes or foxes for the same reason. I feel like im feeding the cats though so i quit soon as i can. I dont like cats for what they do to the birds but i like mice and creepy crawlies less.

    Im probably doing it wrong
